Gorgeous high spirited woman with a bright engaging personality.
Catherine remains one of the brightest lights on TV and (as the saying goes) she is getting better with age. Very stylish, shapely and has a naturally pleasant disposition. If she ever finds herself at a loose end, I would love to meet.
Catherine, I love you.
We love you Catherine
I saw the programme today for the first time and think I’m in love!
A lovely, genuine girl. xcx
She isn`t flirting, she throws herself at the men and it is embarrassing to watch. Especially Raj Bisram couldn`t escape.
Beautiful and talented and with a great sense of humour. Also has legs that go on for ever. Havent seen her for what seems like months but am certainly missing that smile.come back soon Catherine, antiques are not the same without you.

Catherine is young enough to be my daughter, but I think she is lovely. She always seems such a nice person. I hope she’s nice off camera too. This week she is on TV with Phillip Serril. What a lovely pair they make. He always seems a nice guy too.
